  1. They are still keeping most of the pride items. The items that were removed promoted violence and satanism. You can look them up. They were unreal.

  2. FINALLY !!! BET THERE SALES GO UP 😊 SURE HOPING THOSE WHO BOYCOTTED TARGET FOR THE MANY YEAR’S LIKE MYSELF WILL INDEED “START SHOPPING THERE ONCE AGAIN ! BET I SURE WILL BE CHECKING IT OUT ONCE AGAIN SINCE WE GOT RID OF OUR CARDS THER😅E WAY BACK WHEN THE BATHROOM ISSUE CAME INTO EFFECT – SURE HOPING THEY WON’T HOLD THAT AGAINST US AND WELCOME US BACK IN !

  3. Companies these day are stupid. All you have to do is sell. Stop virtue signaling. Stop alienating majority of your customers. Don't you have a business to run? Aren't you busy enough? Why add other agenda to your business?

  4. Target is going to lose a ton of money because a lot of people will stop shopping there. Money is the only thing that will make especially some American companies change course on controversial things like this. It's not because of their workers being threatened give me a break! That would be unfortunate of course if it happened, but it's because a large percentage of normal Americans will stop shopping there at least for the time being, that is why they are backtracking.

  5. We know just what to do Cancel the Life out of Target!

  6. Another big corporation making excuses and false claims about their consumers. Really smart.

  7. Drag shows surgery’s clothes ect. It was fine until yall involved children

  8. GOOD! These ridiculous WOKE companies LIKE TARGET have taken this insulting, PATRONIZING, to such a ridiculous extreme. Normal people (which is MOST OF US) who shop at Target are getting sick of this nonsense!
    My advise to Target executives:
    Get back to supporting your regular, hardworking customers! Those of us who built your business! And quit pandering to every selfish, special interest group that comes crying for attention!
    And while you're doing that, keep 2 words in mind: …..BUD LIGHT!

  9. We don’t need that garbage in the stores

  10. Total lies spewing about "threats". People actually buy that news spin. Why we're on a downward spiral.

  11. Those are anti-Target threats, as in, threats to boycott. And anti child mutilation threats. Why isn't Darsha Philips investigating why Target hired a literal Satanist to design violent themed pins and merchandise for children?

  12. Whenever I go to Target to buy food and action figures. I never see any homophobia for me as a Straight Asian American man. Target is awesome.

  13. They are grooming our CHILDREN!!!!
    And TARGET was supporting it !
    Boycot target!

  14. Them: there's not a agenda
    Also them: going after kids and feeding them bs fake science and making trans seem normal

  15. The threats are a lie. It is a way to backpedal their decisions on the rainbow merchandise being upfront in your face. They'll be the next BudLite.

  16. They already failed. I’m boycotting them and now the pride community will because they backed down. These kids are being indoctrinated by adults. It’s sad.

  17. This comment section is absurd. While this virtue signaling is reaching, that does not permit violence or making threats. There are better ways to challenge corporations.

  18. It's most like the devil is working in the shadows to manipulate people into becoming anti-Christs.

  19. Target has always promoted pride for years what's the big deal now
